About this event
"For if it be a sin to covet laughter I am the most offending soul alive... For he today that shares a laugh with me Shall be my brother" - Henry V, probably. Based on an imaginary first draft, this is the play before it was famous. All the elements are there - Agincourt, treachery, tennis balls - but converted into comedy. Lots of laughs. A few well-known lines. No boring bits. Praise for previous shows: "Delivered laugh after laugh" - Theatre Whippet "Dazzling" - Bum On A Seat Part of the Birmingham Comedy Festival 2-11 October bhamcomfest.co.uk
